Could you build this?
No Running a 125B MoE model on two 16 GB GPUs requires novel quantization, offloading, and expert-scheduling research and ML systems engineering that vibe coding cannot provide.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a model checkpoint plus aggressive low-bit quantization, expert offloading between GPU and CPU/NVMe, and custom CUDA kernels with careful prefetch and scheduling. The hard parts are inference-systems research and kernel optimization, which need ML systems engineers and significant GPU experimentation.
